Patrick Swayze (In a mullet that need to be seen to be believed) stars as Dalton, the best bouncer the business who looks to set a bar straight and kick the bad influence of Ben Gazzara out of his bar and town. Naturally Gazzara refuses to go down without a fight and a fight there is. Kelly Lynch stars as the world's most gorgeous doctor, who isn't above wearing low cut shirts to show her heaving bosoms, or tight pants to show off her rump. What can I say about what was easily my favorite movie from 1989, indeed I watched this with a double-bill of Cyborg. Road House is easily among the stupidest movies ever made, it could be science fiction it's so unlikely and yet its so much fun. Indeed Swayze spits out lines like "Pain don't hurt","Guess what tails again!" and the best line of the film "If somebody gets in your face and calls you a c***sucker, I want you to be nice. Ask him to walk. Be nice. If he won't walk, walk him. But be nice. If you can't walk him, one of the others will help you, and you'll both be nice. I want you to be nice until it's time to not be nice. " After you plug in tons of fight sequences and bottles smashing over people's heads. I think the two sentence above explains why this movie kicks so much ass. Indeed I still have to pick this one up on DVD.
